Cougar Designer’s Desk #2
Wow, I can’t believe it was over 4 years ago that I wrote the first (and only) Cougar Designer’s Desk post. It would take an entire post to cover all the things that have transpired in my life – with SPA, family, and personally, so I will just say that it has been a lot […]

We simply shared that we intended to build a 2-seat version, had released a 3 view of what we thought it may […]

Panthers Have Wing Spars!
Panther wing spar kits have shipped! We are running behind our projected schedule, but the quality of the parts is top notch and we are hoping the builders think it was worth the wait. We shall see! We ship our wing spar kits along with the upper and lower longerons, the wing slider tubes, and […]
